PAOK vs Peristeri: Analysis and Prediction – PAOK and Peristeri will play a game in the Greek League third round.
PAOK vs Peristeri Odds
PAOK Team News
PAOK enters this match after a very encouraging win over Galatasaray in the FIBA Champions League. The Greek representative won 88:77 on the hot away floor, showing that they should not be underestimated, despite the fluctuations in the domestic league.
PAOK started very good against Galatasaray. They scored 30 points in the first quarter and foreshadowed the later epilogue. It will turn out that this part of the game was crucial for black and white to win. With excellent offensive production and by reducing the rival to 19 points, they reached a double-digit lead, which they managed to preserve. In none of the following quarters did Galatasaray seriously threaten, but PAOK constantly kept them at a safe distance. Elvar Fridriksson shone, recording a triple-double with 19 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and he was greatly supported by Andrew Harrison with 21 points and Michael Earl Gilmore with 20 points.
The duel against Galatasaray is an example that PAOK can play well. The only question is whether they can do it continuously. For something like that, the defense will need to work, better than it was against the Turkish team. Fridriksson won’t have that kind of performance every night, so the blacks and whites have to find an alternative.
Peristeri Team News
Unlike the next rival, Peristeri had a worse introduction before the next match. In the same competition, the FIBA Champions League, the Greek team was defeated by Le Mans, with a convincing 96:68, and they will do their best to improve the impression from that duel.
From the first minute, Peristeri was in a subordinate position. A double-digit deficit after the first quarter is the result of a bad game in defense, which did not function for the most part of the meeting. The only period in which Peristeri was competitive on that side of the floor was the third quarter, when he allowed Le Mans only 12 points. However, they did not take full advantage of the idle pace of the French team, but allowed the opponent to play in the fourth quarter, after which Peristeri experienced a debacle. Jaylen Hands and Kenny Williams were the only ones worth mentioning with 18 and 10 points. The rest of the team was in single digits, like Joe Ragland, with six points and 10 assists.
This kind of defeat may not be a realistic balance of power between the two teams, but what is certain is that Peristeri must raise the level of aggressiveness, if they want to impose himself on a difficult visit, such as the upcoming one in Thessaloniki. Anything beyond that could be fatal, however much Peristeri has a better team than the next opponent.

PAOK vs Peristeri Prediction
Regardless of the fact that PAOK has a top result in Istanbul, in that match there was also a large expenditure for the black and white, while Peristeri on the other hand, in a convincing failure, had room to rest the holders of the game a little more. It is certain that the Peristeri will also react after such a result, and when all that is added together, our proposal is that the guest will register their 11th win in a row over PAOK, with a difference higher than the offered handicap.
